Taken at Dachau......in the Bunker.....a place where political opponents were held.........
Dachau was the only Concentration Camp open for the entire Nazi reign. From early on, it was used to house political prisoners of the Third Reich, those who may have been able to bring down the regime.

This is worth more than the score you got. A little dark, I had to turn up might brightness to see the 2nd person, I think you could have bought out a little more detail without loosing the mood. But you subject matter is fantastic and out side your usual shots. Don't be dishartend by the score this is good.
OK, I'm going through the Free Study submissions, purposefully finding those images I think are shot with a less conventional eye - this is one of those images! Thanks for offering something that isn't just DPC friendly eye-candy (though of course there's nothing wrong with eye-candy). I'll be picking one of these images for the Mu (most underrated) award:
Positives: Great perspective, composition and story. I think you're very brave to offer this up in the FS for the voters - a vote splitter for sure. However, I think there is much to reward the patient viewer - the guy in the doorway, the bottle in the hand of the other guy - nothing contrived here; it offers a raw feel.
Critical stuff: Just the above really, the image is what it is and it will appeal to a minority.
This becomes more artful the longer I look at it... my eyesight isn't the best so it took me a while to see the second person, but I like that.... the brown tones set the mood, it's pretty dreary - thanks for a different kind of shot!
